Blue Grouse. . . (Dendragapus obscurus)

These animals are a primary small game species hunted in
Arizona. Hunting small game requires only a valid Arizona regular
hunting or combination hunting/fishing license. A game bird stamp,
which is available free of charge at Game and Fish offices, is
required to hunt blue grouse. A U.S. Forest Service
Apache-Sitgreaves National
Forests map is a handy tool.

Hunting
hints:
Hunt Spruce/aspen stands. Key in on small openings, walk slowly,
and scan the ground. Mornings are the best times to encounter
feeding birds. A good bird dog is a definite benefit. Blue grouse
are very camouflaged and easy to overlook, but may allow you to
approach them at close range.
